• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

Getting the right MOT Type 1

Compaction

Lay and compact in layers with a plate compactor. Allow extra material because it compacts down.

How deep?

Patios and paths commonly use around 100 mm of compacted sub-base, and domestic driveways around 150 mm or more. Soft ground or heavier vehicles need more; your designer or installer will confirm.

Ordering MOT Type 1 for Swansea: FAQs

How soon can MOT Type 1 be delivered in Swansea?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

How deep should a driveway sub-base be?

Around 150 mm of compacted MOT Type 1 is common for domestic drives on firm ground; soft ground or heavier vehicles need more. Follow your installer or the paving maker's guidance.

Can you tip it loose?

For larger quantities we can price a loose tipped load if the lorry can reach and there is space to tip.

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Swansea?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.
